Vols’ head coach Josh Heupel previews Tennessee’s regular season finale against Vanderbilt.

On walk-on QB Gaston Moore

“Young man that walked on and has continued to grow in his understanding of what we’re doing offensively. Smart, competitive, and does a really good job inside of the room too. Young guy that doesn’t always get all the reps that you want, but is diligent in continuing to grow and fundamentally has gotten better. Footwork and eye discipline has gotten a lot better too. It was good exposure for him to get in the ballgame the other night.”

On his initial impression of Velus Jones Jr.

“On special teams, saw some of the impact that he had as a returner. Felt like he was dynamic in that role. Thought he had a chance to continue to grow a fundamental understanding of how to play the wide receiver position at a really high level. Just where we were personnel wise, started him outside. Felt like his natural home was probably inside, but that was just where we were at that time. Him being able to get into the slot here, I think has allowed him to play his best football.”
